uppose you select a random card from a standard deck of

52

cards and no jokers. If you draw a face card (king, queen, or jack), you win

$5

. If you draw an ace, you win

$20

. If you draw any other card, you lose

$2

. What is the expected profit from any one draw?

Answer:

The value is [tex] E(k) = \frac{68}{52}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The total number of cards is [tex]n = 52[/tex]

Let k represent the winnings and loss when any card is drawn

So k = $5 when a faced card is drawn

So k= $ 20 when an Ace card is drawn

So g = - $2 when any other card is drawn

Generally in a standard deck of card

The number of Ace is 4

The number of queen is 4

The number of jack is 4

Therefore the number off faced cards is

R = 4 + 4 + 4 = 12

Generally the number of other cards is

Y = n - R

=> Y = 52 - 12

=> Y = 36

Generally the probability of drawing a faced card is mathematically represented as

[tex]P(k = 5) = \frac{ 12}{52}[/tex]

Generally the probability of drawing a Ace card is mathematically represented as

[tex]P(k = 20) = \frac{ 20}{52}[/tex]

Generally the probability of drawing a other card is mathematically represented as

[tex]P(k = -2) = \frac{ 36}{52}[/tex]

Generally the expected profit from any one draw is mathematically represented as

[tex]E(k) = \sum k_i * P(K = k)[/tex]

=>    [tex]E(k) =  5 * \frac{ 12}{52}  + 20\frac{ 20}{52} + [- 2 * \frac{ 36}{52}][/tex]

=> [tex] E(k) = \frac{68}{52}[/tex]
